Abstract
ABSTRACT This study investigates the effects of palm fibers on the seismic behavior of adobe walls. Towards this, six wall panels, with dimensions of 1000 × 900 × 200 mm3 were constructed with different fiber contents. Seismic loading was simulated through incrementally increasing cyclic loading reversals combined with a constant vertical stress of 0.3 MPa. The results are described in terms of failure mechanism, load-displacement hysteretic curves, and other prominent structural factors. It was found that adding palm fibers can increase the peak load and displacement ductility by up to 37 and 39%, respectively.
